Travel, learn, know, share, live!!

In 2015 while in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, volunteering in Bamboo Village, I watched a video of some travellers. What they said caught my attention because their way of living the trip was completely different from mine.

That gave me the idea to tell my own experience and also to make a video with the visual material I had been able to collect so far. Many photographs – almost 70,000 – of which, of course, many may not have the quality, but they are a memory.

I was able to make a few videos, because on my mobile at the time, the recording wasn’t working. Until I was forced by the loss of the old iPhone4 on a bus in Surabaya (Java-Indonesia), I had to buy – and I was able to do so thanks to Flor, a friend who helped me out – a new phone on the same day that the old one was lost. The next video of the trip is likely to have more video images because of that problem.

I began to write the text and reviewed it dozens of times, until I came up with the idea that convinced me and reflected the spirit of the journey. But that wasn’t the only thing, he also had to achieve something more difficult: that it would be maintained over time and not expire with the passing of time. And I think I did, because fortunately the progress of the journey is still a challenge, a continuous learning and I continue to make my dream of living as a nomad come true.

I have crossed borders and have lived them. Some were simple full of brightness, as in Iran, where soldiers said good bye with tea and I confirmed that in my countryand in my previous world, I had been lied to.

Others have been an ordeal, but I’ve achieved them; I got carried away by the good sense and even the soldiers laughing at the end, told me… have a good trip outsider, enjoy your fate and be welcome.

The land has been my road, I have crossed deserts and rivers, mountains and steppes, cities with more or less brightness jungles and paths towards what is my destiny.

From the perspective of a bus’ window or a train’s, for many hours which in my previous life’sspeed I could not have imagined, or endured. Walking and suffering but with a goal that I had chosen.

Now is the turn to cross seas and oceans reach uncharted ports. I’ll plough the heavens, and it won’t be often I want to enjoy the ride with all senses and live this adventure, an unhurried world tour which is what I have chosen.

Having a tight budget, has also helped me to find the suitable place in shelters or flats to take my backpack off so that the sacrifice isn’t as much.

Knowing people, from their essence, with which their full heart, has within although their pocket, is half empty.

They have been a stand on many occasions of the trip I warmly thank them all. May their heartsstay full and that they make me discover that in the world still shines and the light has not been extinguished.

As a Volunteer I have learned To work the tools and what physical effort is it has helped me to know better the human body, because I have felt it..

Now unhurried, I notice that my spirit is calming down. I like to travel alone, in the loneliness of the trip I find myself, although it is true that I never discard a potential friend, to help to discover, understand and prepare the ground which will be my destination.

The dangers have not appeared I move confidently in unfamiliar terrains.

Feelings that come suddenly, make it seem as if I have already lived it maybe it’s a problem with my mind, abuses pass a bill I say to myself or maybe life is telling me this is your way, you have lived it, only now let yourself go and live what I offer you It is a dream that you are fulfilling and that you’ve chosen.

A dream come true, that will make me forget the fears and hatreds, and teach me to respect life to reinforce the spirit, who one day I had almost lost.

And it will be forever, a good memory of my nomadic life, that will revive with photos and videos landscapes and people that I meet along the way.

Write and tell the adventure, also with the greatest of affection, in my blog you can follow and thus live with me this leisurely trip that invites you to dream and fulfill a asleep dream.

To all those who have always been there those who have recently come and those that will come, I dedicate this writing that came from my soul, doing, unhurried, a world tour … because I think I am fulfilling a dream I had inside of me.

The video with the spirit of the journey

And this is the result, which I put on with the music that a Madrid band called Chico Diablo kindly gave me. At my request, they also transformed it into instruments so that I could include my voice by reciting the text.

The photos and videos that accompany the sound are all mine, collected during the almost two years I had been travelling between France and Indonesia, where I finished editing.
